Project Update: Update
From Wes
Hello everyone! I’m sorry for the delay in getting this update out to all of you but I wanted to wait until I had some news worth sharing. I’ve spent the fast few months, converting The Orshin Incident over to Cypher. During the process I edited the text for more clarity, adjusted some of the layout, and altered all the mechanical language in the text. I’ve also now read both the Cypher Character Rulebook and the Cypher GM’s Guide cover to cover and I am confident that my conversions are consistent with Cypher’s shifted emphasis.
What does all this mean? I’m ready to play test!
I’ve still got to test how we’re porting over the characters from the ICRPG version, or if we’ll just go with a new crew using Cypher’s Open License Materials. The latter is probably where I’m leaning, but I’ll spend some time given each character a small bit of backstory and role-playing prompts. I can say The Orshin Incident is going to used the Space Opera Genre for its setting. Yes, it’s a sci-fi horror adventure with a nod toward a certain franchise which features murderous aliens, but it’s also been influenced by the amazing Farscape universe—Space Opera Fits it well.
I’ll let Dave update you all about art, maps, and the Ironbound conversion of the adventure. Up next for me is the Cypher play test, after which I’ll finish absorbing Darkspace and begin my conversion for that excellent system! We’ve also go some polishing of the ICRPG version that we want to finish up, but we’re excited to get this adventure into people’s hands!
From Dave
I am not going to be as eloquent as Wes. I have designed and written the classes, the mechanic and rewrote most of the adventure for the Bound System. I am about halfway done the EZD6 version of the game. Our current artist is super busy so art might take some time. I am looking at possible hiring other artist to supplement the main one. I have play tested the Bound system.
Surveys are ready to be sent out. They should come to your email this week.
Thank you all for being so patient and supportive.
